Multiply both sides by the LCM of the denominators, 66 — a positive number, so the sign is unchanged:

6⋅2x−13≤6⋅x+22 ⇒ 2(2x−1)≤3(x+2).6\cdot\frac{2x-1}{3}\le 6\cdot\frac{x+2}{2}\ \Rightarrow\ 2(2x-1)\le 3(x+2).

Expand:

4x−2≤3x+6.4x-2\le 3x+6.

Subtract 3x3x and add 22:

4x−3x≤6+2 ⇒ x≤8.4x-3x\le 6+2\ \Rightarrow\ x\le 8.

The solution set is (−∞,8](-\infty,8]. …
